Tubal Re-Anastomoses through a Mini-Laparotomy Incision
Objective: To assess the feasibility and reproducibility of tubal anastomosis through a mini-laparotomy incision. Design: Descriptive case study. Setting: Academic medical center. Patient(s): Sixteen patients with previous tubal sterilization who requested tubal re-anastomosis. Intervention(s): Systematization of the operative steps for tubal re-anastomosis using a mini-laparotomy incision. Main Outcome Measure(s): Primary outcome measures were feasibility and reproducibility; secondary measures were tubal patency, operative time, complications, and ergonomic qualities.
